Dead for 45 minutes; an interesting near-death experience

[Little Rik]

I don't know for certain, but my hunch is that consciousness is not "a thing" and thus it can't leave your body and go places.

Opshhh, these guys disconnected their body from their consciousness in order not to feel the pain.
This time you are excused for saying...........I don't know for certain

Consciousness is data. Nothing more. Normally that data is maintained with appropriate values like, "I'm inside my body right now"; however, since it's data, it can take on any value it wants without the slightest violation of the laws of physics; values such as "I'm floating six feet above my body," or even, "I'm a six foot penis named Bob." Data can be anything it wants to be. It normally isn't, because the brain uses the data that is consciousness to organize behaviors and so it's meant to track and mirror real world events, but if the brain isn't functioning normally, that data can take on values that aren't normal.

Guessing again?
How would you know that the consciousness can take on value that aren't normal?
And what is normal?

My question is, what about all those people who are clinically dead, but don't experience an NDE? You know, no tunnel of light, no floating over your body, no meeting dead relatives, just unconscious for a while?

Interesting question.
Considering that we are all different with our good and bad and our karma (reaction due to previous actions) then it is easy to understand why we do not experience the same thing when we have a NDE.
It is like to be rewarded or deny a reward or having a reward according to the level of our actions.
You just get what you deserve.
If you in the previous life were a rapist or a murderer then it is quite possible that you see absolutely nothing and when you die for good only to end up straight into the body of a pig or a cockroach.
On the other hand if you are ok then you are allow to see and experience whatever you can.
